With my eye off the ball recently a lot of propaganda from the Conservative’s Ministry of Misinformation
has gone unremarked however this lie is something of a corker.

If
Bexley Tories want to denigrate Mayor Sadiq Khan that’s fine by me, the worst
thing to hit London since the Luftwaffe in my opinion but I very much doubt he
personally took the decision to close Bexleyheath police station nor would he
have been directly responsible for the later decision to keep it open.

The police and his tame string pullers would have been at his elbow.

Even less likely is that a bunch of Tories wandering around with placards and
organising petitions would have any effect; every affected borough did that and
few police stations were saved.

The further suggestion that only the Tories can stand up to Sadiq Khan is total
nonsense. Labour locally put up a more effective fight against the proposed
closure than the Tories.

Which was likely to be more effective? Tories stamping their feet in a rage
against a “disastrous” Mayor or Labour writing well reasoned letters to those in a position to guide Sadiq Khan to
the right decision?
